Migration and Evolution of giant ExoPlanets (MEEP) I: Nine Newly Confirmed Hot Jupiters from the TESS Mission
Jack Schulte, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Allyson Bieryla +72
Hot Jupiters were many of the first exoplanets discovered in the 1990s, but in the decades since their discovery, the mysteries surrounding their origins remain. Here, we present n…
Not So Fast Kepler-1513: A Perturbing Planetary Interloper in the Exomoon Corridor
Daniel A. Yahalomi, David Kipping, David Nesvorný +9
Transit Timing Variations (TTVs) can be induced by a range of physical phenomena, including planet-planet interactions, planet-moon interactions, and stellar activity. Recent work…
Dynamical Architectures of S-type Transiting Planets in Binaries I: Target Selection using Hipparcos and Gaia proper motion anomalies
Jingwen Zhang, Lauren M. Weiss, Daniel Huber +16
The effect of stellar multiplicity on planetary architecture and orbital dynamics provides an important context for exoplanet demographics. We present a volume-limited catalog up t…

We present ground and space-based photometric observations of TOI-270 (L231-32), a system of three transiting planets consisting of one super-Earth and two sub-Neptunes discovered…
TESS discovery of a super-Earth and two sub-Neptunes orbiting the bright, nearby, Sun-like star HD 22946
Luca Cacciapuoti, Laura Inno, Giovanni Covone +51
We report the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) discovery of a three-planet system around the bright Sun-like star HD~22946(V=8.3 mag),also known as TIC~100990000, locat…
TESS spots a mini-neptune interior to a hot saturn in the TOI-2000 system
Lizhou Sha, Andrew M. Vanderburg, Chelsea X. Huang +52
Hot jupiters (P < 10 d, M > 60 ) are almost always found alone around their stars, but four out of hundreds known have inner companion planets. These rare compan…
TOI-2196 b: Rare planet in the hot Neptune desert transiting a G-type star
Carina M. Persson, Iskra Y. Georgieva, Davide Gandolfi +52
Highly irradiated planets in the hot Neptune desert are usually either small (R < 2 Rearth) and rocky or they are gas giants with radii of >1 Rjup. Here, we report on the intermedi…
